So concerning your post about people reacting to WWX raising the dead. I’m not a sinologist so I can’t tell how Chinese people treat their dead except for what I saw in medias. But in most cultures dead are reverted and should not be disturbed. Any necromancer would be feared and hated for breaking the sacred taboo of using the dead and disturbing their peace. And I’m not talking about all of mo dao, only the raising the dead part. So I thought that while sect leaders could be disgusted by his actions they still encouraged him to do it for the war efforts. It’s very hypocritical of them to turn on him for doing what they enabled.

You don't have to be anything special, just read the novel. This is a work of fiction. It's not a historical text that needs to be evaluated on its accurate portrayal of a specific time period or a thesis on culture. MXTX is Chinese. Do you think the author/novel wants you to judge and hate the mc for being a necromancer? Does the novel frame it as something that WWX needs to leave in his past completely because it was evil and terrible? Does the scene where he raises Madam Mo & Co. from the dead and unleash them on NMJ's arm to protect the juniors and buy them more time read as anything other than boss af? WWX's practice during the war was extreme and not something he would have done on a regular basis but something he felt he needed to do in order to beat back the Wens. Individual moments after the war show WWX being more respectful and empathetic of the dead than most. Meanwhile the Wen remnants were thrown in the blood pool in an act of pure vengeance by the so called righteous cultivators. There's no need to bring in what twitter user Lotusfucker69 wrote in a twitter thread trying to explain how WWX is actually the bad guy in mdzs and jc was the righteous one. As you said the same Clan Leaders who vocally oppose WWX's use of resentful energy and fierce corpses had no problem when he was using it in their service, they have no problem with him using it when it serves them again in his second life. They're hypocrites. Do you feel like the novel wants you to side with them?

Even the living are close to being dead, so why should we care about those corpses?”

Another person agreed, “Yes, we’re in harsh times, right? Sect Leader Jiang is right. In terms of evil or not, who’s more evil than the Wen-dogs? He’s on our side anyways. I say it’s fine as long as he’s killing the Wen-dogs.”

Wei WuXian thought, Well, that wasn’t what you guys said when you brought the siege on me." (Chapter 51)

Look who was such a staunch supporter of it when it served him! Well well well if it's not:"Sect Leader Jiang"! Then in WWX's second life:

Amid the hall full of cheers, Wei WuXian thought, Right before today, he was still the LianFang-Zun whom everyone praises. Just a day, and everyone wants to beat him up.

Suddenly, someone turned around, “Mr. Wei, Jin GuangYao has got the Tiger Seal in his hands. We’ll entrust this matter to you.”

Wei WuXian, “Huh?” He didn’t think that someone would come talk to him out of their own will, and even in such an enthusiastic way, calling him ‘Mr. Wei’ instead of derogatories like ‘Wei-dog’. He hesitated for a second.

Immediately, another sect leader followed, “That’s right! Nobody ranks higher than the YiLing Patriarch in this path of cultivation!”

“Now things are looking bad for Jin GuangYao, hahahaha…”

Wei WuXian immediately felt a bit speechless. The last time others praised him like this was during the Sunshot Campaign more than ten years ago. Although somebody finally inherited his position as being the enemy of the entire cultivation world, Wei WuXian didn’t feel happiness at such an end, much less any warmth from finally being accepted by everyone. (Chapter 86)

WWX recognizes the hypocrisy in all of it, as we the reader are meant to as well. It's not an insurmountable taboo if it serves them. It's a big deal when it can be used to suppress the uppity son of servant who doesn't know "his place" once he's no longer needed.
